[Staging of oropharyngeal carcinomas : New TNM classification as a  challenge for head and neck cancer centers].

CONCLUSION: Clinical trials will have to show whether deescalation strategies regarding p16-positive carcinomas are supported by the changes made in the TNM staging system. A prospective multicenter study should examine the universal applicability, the appropriateness for all sublocations, as well as the prognostic significance of the current edition.
